Minnesota Fair Chance Access to Housing Bill (SF 4015)
SF 4015 limits the use of criminal background checks in rental application processes, allowing Minnesotans with conviction histories a chance to secure housing.
The Fair Chance Access to Housing Act would:
▪Prohibit housing providers from asking rental applicants about their conviction histories during the initial screening process.
▪Postpone any background check until the applicant receives a conditional offer.
▪Limit the use of system-involvement history screening to specific types of convictions within established timeframes.
▪Allow applicants to undergo an individualized review of their conviction histories and offer evidence of rehabilitation prior to denial by the housing provider.
